December

Chicago

Cast in grey scale

The City Winds as impossible to measure as

"The Windy City"

​

​

Wind Chills' Expression spans through

the Atmosphere's of time's measures.

​

​

The Lady of the Lake

has No Mercy

Her Northern Shores unrestrained by

Chicago's Boardwalk

The City's Boardwalk, Pretty as a Postcard,

offers no protection from deadly Exposure

​

​

Lake Michigan's Winter Winds pay no heed

to the scantily clad Division 

that divides her shores from 

Chicago's in-famous Skyline

​

​

The "Windy City's" Chill is rumored

to extend her long reach

of heavenly-Hell far beyond her borders

all the way up to 'Capital Hill'

​

​

Winter Kills

In cold blooded degrees

As Hard to differentiate as Grey-scales

City Wind Chills

Just as Winter Winds leave lasting Impressions

Death resonates beyond Time's Tides

​

​

Winter's Tempest transcends

Mercury's (mm/hg) thermal measure

Death from exposure transcends time

and place.

She resides in the very atmosphere we breath

​

​

Chicago's board...

walks in

uneasy strides 

between Lake Michigan

and the City'Skyline

​

​

City buildings Rise in uneven

vertical blocks.

The night sky above

checkered in Upside Down

Elevator Shafts

​

​

The City's Streets; Concrete Corridors

lined in mirrored glass, concrete, and steel..

that stop and start in timed sequence at

Street Corner's Intersections

Signals are cast in Red, Yellow.

and Green Reflections

​

​

Inner City Expressions

​

​

Frigid Winter Winds

A Bridge Over the River Kwai

Death in degrees

Over Exposure​

Winter Kills

​

Information Bombs

Poem by Mary Margaret Park

 

information 

tons of it

compression waves

spilling from our computer screens

A-bombs crowding

the mind’s horizon

origins

unknown

 

time slot stampede

marked and dated

obsolete upon arrival

 

the relevant

and the arcane

 

random and

specific

 

a vast 

weigh station

of data

 

a race for the latest

 

it’s eclipse

             knowledge
